Celestia sat there while I looked at her impatiently. "Well, what happened?"

"You're not gonna like it."

"Just tell me already!"

"Luna and Rainbow Dash were kidnapped!"

I looked at her with a shocked stare, that slowly turned icy, then it turned into one of rage. "How...the hell...did that...happen...in broad DAYLIGHT!?!"

"The kidnappers used magic cancelling weapons, we were powerless against them."

"What about the mobians?"

"They were being showed around the city when it happened, they weren't here."

"Chaos?"

"Tea party with Cream and Fluttershy."

I slowly started laughing, that soon turned insane. She looked at me scared and floated a letter over to me.

Attention pathetic ponies

As you are aware we have captured your beloved princess Luna and one of your heroines. If our demands are not met within 24 hours we will execute them, but not before giving them to the guard, who are a might pent up.

I almost crushed the paper in anger but kept reading.

You are to allow us to hunt in your forests and give us a large amount of the royal treasury. If you retaliate we will kill our hostages.

King of the griffin empire.

I tore the note in half, literal fire in my eyes. "Which way to the griffin Kingdom?"

"Metal, you ca-"

"WHICH WAY!?!" She froze at my outburst and pointed in the direction of the kingdom. I started up my engine and shot out of a window with a mighty rage. My blue metal had gone black, a dark aura surrounded me and my body had changed shape to that of Neo Metal Sonic. "I'm havin fried chicken tonight!"

Meanwhile

Luna sat in her cell as Rainbow tried to knock down the door. The Griffins picked the perfect time to strike, Metal was in another world and the mobians were distracted. For some reason she hoped that it would be Metal that saved her, she always like that little fantasy. A shining knight coming to save the princess from the clutches of the evil king.

Rainbow also wanted Metal to save her, as it would give her an excuse to 'reward' him for his rescue. She still didn't know about Lunas feelings for Metal, so that's gonna cause problems right?

Ahem, anyway. The two frowned and Rainbow sat down on the floor. Just then the two heard screaming.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMEEEEEERRRRRRRRIIIIIIICCCCAAAAAAAA!!!"

"Rainbow Dash, so you hear that?"

"I feel that..."

Just then a loud crash could be heard from a few floors above. They heard yells of confusion and fear, then they heard the voice of a familiar metal hedgehog.

"CHAOS...BLAST!!!" The cell shook and some stones crumbled in the walls. Just then the king of the Griffins burst in and grabbed Luna.

"If I can't have Equestria then I'm at least taking its princess!" With that he used a magic crystal and teleported away. Multiple guards took post outside the cell to prevent the invader from reaching the prisoner. Just then a flurry of bullets mowed the guards down. Then Rainbow heard heavy footsteps coming down the hallway, instead of a familiar robot walking in, two new ones made themselves known.

"Are you alright miss?" The smaller robot asked.

"Um yeah, who are you guys?"

"I am Gamma, this is Omega. We are here to rescue you and princess Luna."

"Well, the griffin king just teleported away with the princess. Where's Metal?"

"Metal?" They both asked. Just then Metal flew straight past the two robots and hugged Rainbow.

"Oh thank Christ you're alright."

Metals POV

I pulled away from the hug to find Dash blushing a little. I looked her over and noticed a few bruises, that was enough to make me growl.

"Woah, Metal take it easy, it's just a few bruises."

"Which one of them did this to you, I swear they will be begging for mercy!" I was calmed down when Dash brought me into a hug.

"Calm down big guy, right now you need to go kick the Kings butt and get the princess back." I nodded and started scanning the area for Luna, I found her just a few miles away.

"You get back to Canterlot, I'll be back as soon as I can." With that I shot through the wall, completely ignoring the two robots in the room.

"Hey Myles, I think that was Nathan."

"Yeah, I think so too Connel." Gamma placed a hand on Dashes shoulder. "Come on, let's get you to safety. Could you answer a few questions we have about Metal Sonic?"

I reached the forest the king was running through and hid behind a tree up ahead. When he reached my location I punched him in the face full force, sending him flying into a rock. Luna was tossed into the air and a jumped to catch her. Setting her on the ground I turned to the king who had regained his bearings.

I created two energy swords and threw one to him. "We settle this with honour, I take it you would prefer it this way?"

He smirked and picked up the sword. "You won't last against me fool, I've been training with the sword for eight years!"

"And I've trained with it for ten, plus I have armour, speed and I could rip you apart at any moment."

He charged forward with the blade and I blocked the blow. We sung our swords at each other, every time making them collide. We pushed against each other and stared circling. We glared as we pushed, I was toying with him, I could easily push him off. Yet he thought he was winning.

"Screw it." I pushed him down and sunk my blade into his chest. Luna only looked onward as the small battle took place, she knew that in griffin culture the loser would be put to shame if not slain, I also knew this. He coughed and smirked, he shakily held his crown high and gave it to me.

"At least...find a better ruler...than I." I grabbed the crown and nodded. "I was foolish...wasn't I?"

"Yes, you let your confidence overpower you, do not worry, I will find a suitable successor." He smiled and closed his eyes. I summoned a hat and held it to my chest, actually shaken by the experience. "I took my first life today..."

After burning the body on a stack of logs I walked over to Luna who brought me into a hug which I gratefully returned.

"This is why I don't go on vacation."
